i've posted once since this date was set. i understand the gap, but don't fucking tell me what i should've been doing with my time. i merely asked if it could be pushed back, i don't need some snippy answer back.

Get fucked. I'm not telling you to do anything, I'm saying that we left PLENTY of time for discussion so don't come in here days before we draft after we've had trouble sorting shit out saying you want the draft changed to a time that is CLEARLY unsuitable for others who have commented on it already.

you were. you're telling me i had plenty of time to get in here and have a discussion on shit when i've posted ONCE since february 20th until today and have hardly been online in that time span. i don't know any troubles you guys have had cause i haven't read any of it. i saw the set date and immediately posted, not even realizing this happened at the beginning of march cause of how behind i am on shit. regardless, you could've just said 'sorry dude, a bunch of peeps can't do next week' instead of getting on my ass about time i didn't have the luxury of spending freely.

that's actually another concern i've had since matthew told me the draft order a couple days ago, and i freaked out cause i thought the draft was that day. we've settled in at the new restaurant, so monday/tuesday isn't so crazy, then i'm supposed to have off wednesday/thursday. but the weekend is a different beast. i don't get much time to check my phone until after 3pm those days. whether that's enough to give up my spot, i don't know. i'll likely be less active then previous years, but still more active than some people in the past.

I don't care how you have spent your time. Fact is, I did leave plenty of time for anybody to come with any problems and people did respond, so of course I'm going to get pissy with anyone who comes in a few days before the draft asking to move it to a time that we moved from already because people can't do. Sure I could have said that, but you could have read the thread to begin with.

Basically I now hate you forever. Also from what you said it doesn't sound like you should give up your spot, we all know you will still not be able to resist checking your team a lot anyway! I mean you don't (still don't?) even like baseball that much and still have been crazy active over the years so it's all good.

Matthew: dont be so mean
Torn: nah bro. i am gonna fly to america and strangle him. he is such a pussy and i hate him. im gonna kill him and bang his girlfriend so she knows what a real man is like
Matthew: whoa settle down BRUH
Torn: Nah fuck him, gonna put a garden hose down his throat and drown him

As for me, while I do have a conflict with the draft, I've just been mercilessly editing my rankings and autopick selections and wouldn't want it moved on my account. It's actually a fun challenge to set it so I A) get players I like and B) have a balanced team where one position doesn't get massively overdrafted. Besides, it'll be fun trading to fill out the team. We can always use more trades.

Just in case, I do recommend Morry look over the auto-pick settings. You can set the minimum and maximum number drafted from any one position, whet types of players to draft when and so forth.

setting auto-pick shit is something i wanted to avoid, cause it's just so much easier to fill out your team in real time, however i will likely do this cause even if the draft is pushed back until 6, i likely will miss the start of the draft and/or the whole thing. i'll probably hop on and look it over, though i may need your guidance on figuring shit out.

It's kind of like a safety net. I've had it set the past couple years so, if something wacky happens during the draft and I lose connection, I don't just draft a team that has holes, five catchers or whatever.

Like, right now, it would draft just one catcher. That's really the best position to illustrate it with, as it's the one spot where we really only need one player. I have caps on how many can be drafted from most all positions and have kept them fairly low at most positions so I don't get four shortstops or second basemen. Setting it to draft certain positions at certain picks seems nice, but isn't something I've messed with. There's no way to tell in advance when people will start drafting certain positions or when the players you like from those positions will be gone.

I'm trying to figure out what my strategy should be going into this one. Because my classic "Draft one Ace pitcher and snag the rest in middle rounds" pretty much sunk me into last place when that pitcher turned out to be Tim Lincecum last year.

Pitchers are fickle. There's obviously the one I LOVE, but he could put up a 6.00 ERA and I'd still suck him off.

Usually, I avoid them mostly in draft. This year will probably be different with me on auto, but I've been merciless with tweaking my rankings. I keep looking through and rethinking how much I like each player.

Stout Trout is still worth that first overall shout. Then again he has less value in this particular league because of the OF position rather than CF where he is plain godly. I'd rather be in that #3 spot though, and get to take whoever falls to me.
